loulla 's review for:

The Franchise Affair by Josephine Tey
2.0

Two women are accused of kidnapping and beating a 15 year old girl. A man is going to make is own inquest.
Josephine Tey can definitely write, but this book made me really uncomfortable. The way the young woman is vilified and shamed because she didn't fit into the mold of what they thought was correct is disheartening. I know the book is a product of his time, but I was expecting something a little bit more modern coming from Josephine Tey
